I discovered your podcast a few months ago and I’m enjoying it immensely. All your guests are very interesting and I love hearing about how others garden. I especially enjoyed the interview with Perrine Herve-Gruyer and I ended up buying their book Miraculous Abundance.

Host Greg Peterson, along with his wonderful array of guests, provides a new interview and a subsequently new perspective on urban farming in every episode. You will learn the ins and outs of beekeeping, bartering, composting, backyard chicken farming, permaculture, plant breeding and just about everything in between. A farmer favorite, and a great source of knowledge.”

“I absolutely love your post of June 12, interesting and so inspiring. You are 1 of the 2 people in Phoenix that has changed my life the most.”

– Nancy K., from Phoenix

Changed my life the most
“You opened up my world, thank you so much!!!! Since [I’m not on] Facebook it took your podcast to make me realize there are other people all over the world doing great things! You do the fieldwork for me, interviewing all those great people. I am so grateful! It all started with “How to speak chicken”. That absolutely made my day and I am hooked ever since. In the meantime, I ordered books from Jessica Walliser, Catherine Bukowski, Brad Lancaster and Gabe Brown …. Now I just need the time to read them. Please [continue] to educate and inspire all of us, thank you so much. Best regards,”

– Yella, R., from Munich, Germany

You opened up my world
“I would like to take an opportunity to stop and say how much I appreciate your podcasts. I just did a random search (Spotify) on urban farming and it popped up. You had all the topics I was interested in need, backyard chickens, edible forest and on and on. I tried listening to other podcasts and I keep coming back to yours. Why? Yours are professionally done and *gasp* EDITED! You know how to ask the right questions And trim it down to keep my interest and teach me. I can’t tell you how many other podcasts I have tried to listen to and the audio is bad, the guests ramble on and on, and the subject matter is not interesting after 5 min. A quality product you have and I can tell the effort gone into it to make it so. Love the guests, love the books you recommend or websites for further research…. Well done farmer Greg your detour into the tech world paid off! I’m just getting into your website now and can’t wait to find the hidden gems there as well! I am starting my first beds this year at our new place in Eastern Ontario Canada but with the help of many guests that were on your show I feel well equipped to tackle our challenging climate… Now if the snow would finish melting so I can harden off my seedlings! Thanks”

-Stacey, from Eastern Ontario Canada

All the topics I was interested in
“I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to plant fruit trees, three years ago! I’ve been eating apricots, peaches, mulberries, plums, pomegranates, and a few figs, and it’s just a beautiful thing. I’m adding the the garden as I go, and seeing the smile on my kids face when we pick fruits, I just want to fill the whole property with edibles!
Thank you for the quality trees too!”

-Karine K, from Phoenix AZ

Inspired to plant fruit trees
“I also wanted to let you know, I have made a resolution to listen to every single one of your podcast episodes. I am currently just starting but I keep thinking of how much more I’ll learn about permaculture by committing myself to this practice. I thoroughly enjoy this time and feel like I’m getting to know you all better.

… Thanks once again for ALL that you do. I know it must be a team effort with Farmer Greg at the helm. And it must be so hard. But it is so worthwhile. You don’t realize the small and big changes we (permies & newbie growers alike) are making because of what we learn from you all.”

–Nicky S, from Permaculture Gardens

I’ve made a resolution
